HONEST confessions NAV be good for the

HONEST confessions may be good for the
souls Of those who make them, but they
are not always oredltable. or such sort
was the recent confession OF Senator
ThlbOdeau, OF Canada, who admitted,
not only, that he had received 81 800 for
forwarding the interests OF the ST. Law
renee sugar refinery, and frankly stated
that he would have asked S2O,OOO, II he
had thought he could get Ii.
AT an amnesty anarchist meeting re-
Gently held in Chicago, IL was stated
that two hundred and fifty ministers OF
the gospel had been impOrtuned to at
tend amnesty meetings and express
their opinions and that Of these scarcely
a single one had responded even by let

the old belief that he who kills with the
sword shall perish by the sword.
IT is now in order for those who have
lodged the subscription to the Citizens
association fund, to come TO the front
with a generous subscription to the
stock OF the Manufacturers Aid society.
This city should raise $500, 900 for such
an enterprise. This sum, judiclously
invested, will bring 81 100000 msnufsc-
turing capital to this city, and yield the
stock holders fair per cent. upon their
subscriptions.
THE race on the nineteenth Of next

The natural advantages for track are
equal to those Of any section In the
world, and 1t only requires time and at
tention to bring matters TO focus.
San Antonio should be the sporting
center Of southern Texas and northern
Mexico.
TRUTH, New York Truth, may not be
by any means the eternal verify OF the
poets conception, but 1t Ia entirely com.
petent TO show the unsavOry Mr.. MARI
boro, with an English annex to his
name, the true inwardness of American
oppression as formulated IN his particu-
lar case. n he regards the atmosphere
OF New York as melodious, and likes
not the flavor of the Truth" which
comes bet ween the wind of public opin-
ion and his nobility, he can take the
benefit o. a disinfecting sea voyage and
return, like the man exercised OF an I'M
clean spirit, to the place from whence
he came out.
DALLAS enjoys all the delights OF
successful state fair and the presence of
vast Gro wds within her gates, including
the nmble-fiDgered gentry, who at a
very early hour last evening made away
with about $1,000 worth Of diamonds
and jewelry, which they quietly seques-
tered. Webb was alone IN his store, his
assistants having gone to supper. Two
greenhorns enter, Mr.. Webb takes one to
the rear Of the store to look at some
clocks: the other saunters around, dives
under counter and emptying two trays
OF diamond rings, puts them into his
pocket and decamps, Ii was the old
racket. Two rogues were grinding at
the mill; the one taken Ito the back

the papers written in red ink, which are
to advertise those bids and those papers
are ALL democratic journals. When
